Taxi Nightmares: Why you can’t get it when required?

There are days when you can get a taxi in the GTA within seconds of stepping on the pavement. There are other days when you can spend more than 20 minutes waving down cabs and have to trudge to the nearest station to catch the metro.

What happened to all the taxis?

If you’ve used GTA taxi services before, you’ll know that there’s no way of knowing whether you’ll be able to get a car or not until you actually try to hail one.
If you've been trying to hail a cab for the past half hour and are wondering why none bothers to stop you may want to consider the following factors.
  •          You're not in the right area

      The fact is that cabs aren’t accessible from every part of the GTA. There are some areas                where getting a vehicle is as easy as stepping onto the pavement. There are other areas where        even sighting a cab is a great feat.
  •          You can’t agree on a fare

           One of the most common complaints amongst drivers and passengers is having disagreements             about fare. It is becoming increasingly difficult for passengers and drivers to strike deals that               are agreeable to both parties.
  •          There are restrictions to the number of cars in the area

     The industry is highly competitive. Local authorities have come up with various ways of               ensuring that drivers can still earn a decent livelihood. There are various controls that have             been put in place including limiting the number of vehicles in any given area.
  •          The time

    What time are you looking for a ride? Not all services offer 24 x 7availability in all parts of          the city. You may not be able to get a vehicle if you're looking to hail one at midnight outside        the busy metropolitan area.
  •          You want to go outside the metropolitan area

         The chances of a driver getting a passenger on their way back from the outer reaches of the                 metropolitan area are slim. Regulations don’t allow drivers to charge passengers extra to                     recover the cost of the return journey. They would therefore prefer not to make the trip as it                 would not be profitable for them.

Traditional Taxi Services: 4 Tips to Compete with Uber

If you are providing traditional taxi services in any of Canada’s city today, you are most likely feeling the heat from ride-sharing operations such as Uber. This technology-driven service has become a global phenomenon and for you to remain competitive, you have to up the game. The best thing about most GTA taxi cab companies is the fact that they are highly adaptive and are suited to leverage changing times. While there are many regulatory concerns about these new firms, it is important to learn from their best practices. To compete, consider the following: 1.   Competitive pricing: Many Brampton taxi services have grown accustomed to a monopoly and lowering rates might seem impossible. However, you can easily adopt a similar strategy that the new Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) are using by lowering fees based on demand.  2.   Availability: One of the major turnoffs for potential customers is waiting time.
